'Delayed Action' Fill

Do you expereince a 'delayed action' fill?

I had a fill last Thursday and today, Monday, I feel less restriction than before my .2 fill in my 4.0cc max band. I haven't had a fill in years and can't quite remember...... but seem to remember that I will be able to feel it in a few weeks?

I ask because this new doctor that I am seeing will guarantee his fill for a week. ie: I can come back within a week if I am not feeling that the fill was enough. I am not sure what to do.

Get more fill,

Wait another month and pay another 125.00 fee.

Thanks

BTW, I am an almost 5 year bandster. LOVE my band, love being slim, never diet, but I did get my band loosened twice because of cancer treatment and I find my weight just creeping up slowly. The joy of this band it that it is adjustable and I need an adjustment.

hugs

Paula

  • Hi Paula - In my experience my fills seemed to "kick in" about at the 3 week mark after a fill. But I know it's not the same for everyone. Do you remember if you had delayed restriction before?

Well I say you're a success :)

Depends on your definition of success. If success = goal weight, then I have not had any success.

For me, success = weight loss and/or maintenance. I am currently down about 130 lbs from my pre-op weight. I was down about 175 lbs before I got pregnant. I've not yet gotten back to that pre-pregnancy low, but I have maintained (with a little loss) this weight for about 2 years now.

Siggy says I'm still fat, not that I'm a failure. ;) I just need more success.

Ya good lord I don't care if you weigh 400 or 4000lbs 130lbs Is a HUGE chunk of weight.

You have lost 520 sticks of butter off you my friend-way to go!! (sry I like butter + I like math :) )
